I've got some oars that are just tanks. Was thinkin about buying new ones but with so many choices was wonderin what everyone else was using. Looking for light weight and strong. Thanx for any info.

Cataract, the best there is....

Cataracts. Can't be beat. I sent you an email about how to get a deal on them...

Cataract. Bought mine at Marine supply in portland(I think that is what the store is named) No tax and a great price.

Gotta agree with everyone else! Cataracts are the way to go. Recently purchased my second set from Sportco in Fife. Had no intention of having 2 sets but was down there one day and fell in love with the blue shafts.........now I have a set of 9.5 footers and a set of 9's.

Cataracts. I've been beating the tar out of mine and they still look new.

Wow! I never realized there were some many Cataract fans. I used them for years from a Koffler and thought they were a great oar. I am now fishing Sawyer MX-G's from my Willie and like them too. I like the float-ability of the Cat's, but I think I like the row-ability of the Sawyer's even more.

MMEEOOOOWWWWW...gotta go with Cats!

Who knows, but your life may depend on them.

Cataracts

I have an old and completely abused pair of Cataracts that I just finished replacing the rotten wood handles on. Believe me when I say these things are strong! I thought I was going to have to cut the end off to get the old rotten handles out of them. I pried, bent, drilled and basically beat the crap out of these oars. I would have never believed this material would flex and rebound like it did. I would never, ever, buy any other oar.

HEY JIGMAN BUDDY, ANY CHANCE YOU WANT TO UNLOAD A SET OF THOSE OARS? I HAVE THE ORIGINAL WOOD SAWYER OARS THAT CAME WITH MY BOAT QUITE AWILE AGO. TIPS ARE PRETTY BEAT UP & I REALLY DON'T WANT TO SNAP ONE ON THE DUC THIS YEAR. THANX

b gray. could you send me a e-mail on how to get a deal on them.i would appreciate it.thanks scott

Hmmm, all I can say is I agree with all above. Cataracts!!!!!! I have three pair. I have a pair of 6 1/2 footers on my steelheader and two pairs of 8ft's on my 16ft cataraft (these oars are almost 10 years old). They are in excellent shape stilll and I've beat the crap out of them.

And as he said above, B. Grey, send me the email that can get me cataracts cheap. I want to buy a pair of 9 or 10 footers.

thanks Jerry
